Paulie Malignaggi has slammed Conor McGregor’s boxing ability and claimed even a YouTuber like AnEsonGib could beat him.
The pair have history so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Malignaggi has gone in on the Irishman.
They even sparred in 2017 which seemed to be the main catalyst for their feud.

Speaking to Lord Ping, the retired boxer said:
“This guy posts pictures of him running up mountains, swimming 25 miles, bicycling through the desert…just to make himself look like he’s Rocky during training and then he gets in the cage and he’s tired after 30 seconds.
“He’s got no balls. There’s no way you can get that tired unless your anxiety levels are through the roof. He gets scared in there.
“I think McGregor’s boxing is brutally bad, but at this point, even in MMA, if you hang with him he will get uncomfortable.”
“Jake just needs the ability to hang in there and he can start to trouble him a little. He can put himself in the position to win the fight.
He continued:
“Conor McGregor’s boxing skills are so brutal that I think even a YouTube boxer like AnEsonGib would beat Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.
“I worked with Gib for his first last year against Austin McBroom and Gib brings a lot of stress and a lot of pressure.
“At this point, I think he’d even beat up Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.”
